Those IRAs and 401Ks are going to look real tempting when congress has to find some money to keep current on their interest payments to the overlords. They will start slowly at first, mandating that 5% of these accounts be put into treasuries that pay some small amount of interest. Of course this will grow a little bit each year and they will also slowly increase the age at which withdrawals can be made without paying penalties.
Sound far-fetched? I bet a SUPERCONGRESS sounded like crazy conspiracy talk a month ago too. And this sort of thing will be much easier to put in place now that only 13 people need to be involved instead of 535.
